The Latest: Chemical weapon watchdog probing Syria attacks
In a statement on Wednesday, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said its fact-finding mission is "investigating all credible allegations" and reporting its findings to the organization's member states.
The mission, however, does not have a mandate to apportion blame for chemical attacks in Syria.
Earlier Wednesday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told BFM TV that "all indications show us today that the Syrian regime is using chlorine gas at the moment" in attacks on rebel-held areas.
On Tuesday, a U.N.-mandated investigator said his team was probing reports that bombs allegedly containing weaponized chlorine have been used on two recent occasions in Syria.
